The Closest Megan Fox Gets To An Oscar, For Now

When Eddie Murphy backed out of hosting the Academy Awards this year, I was a bit disappointed. The host choices have either been really dodgy – from last year’s well-intentioned disaster of Anne Hathaway and James Franco, going back to Chris Rock. Hell, I wish they’d have given David Letterman another chance. Yet, when the slot opened up, I knew they wouldn’t pay attention to the campaign I threw my weight behind to get the Muppets as hosts. I knew they’d throw a big suitcase of cash at Billy Crystal. And I was right.
That said, even though it’s a really safe choice, you know you’ll get yeoman’s work out of the man. And The Academy is making sure you know the glitz is back. Check out the newly-released trailer for the awards show:
Before you ask: no, there will not be another Big Gold Statue party this year. Two reasons: I’m not the EIC of Red Carpet Crash anymore, and don’t have the wherewithal to organize another party; and the fine folks at one of AMPAS’ law firms sent out lovely cease-and-desist letter as post-party favors last year.
